U.S. folks, be sure to lock in your losses! (FYI: wash sale rules don’t apply to crypto)

That might sound counterintuitive with all the “HODL strong” rally cries, but as a heads up, wash sale rules don’t apply to cryptocurrency in the United States, so if you’re down a reasonable amount or we see another big dip, why not do a little tax-loss harvesting? Just sell to lock in whatever loss you have and immediately re-buy! Then you’ll be well on your way to accumulating little tax offsets that can be claimed years down the road as needed.

Anyway, hopefully someone finds this useful. I know I found this little loophole rather exciting. Just don’t go too crazy with the whole buy high, sell low strategy 🙂
